Abstract:Based on the mode coupling theory of fiber gratings, the transmission spectrum characteristics of cascaded long and short- period fiber grating are analyzed by transmission matrix method.The transmission matrices of long period fiber grating (LPFG), connected fiber and short period fiber grating (FBG) are obtained by the coupling mode equation, and then the total transmission matrix of cascaded fiber gratings can be obtained by multiplying them. Finally, the transmission spectrum can be obtained by combining boundary conditions. Further, the transmission spectrum of CLBG is simulated and verified by the experiment.The experimental results show that there are two resonant peaks formed by the coupling of core mode and cladding modes in the transmission spectrum of CLBG, which are consistent with the simulation results. It proves the feasibility of the transmission matrix method to solve the transmission spectrum of CLBG, and provides theoretical support for the wide application of CLBG in the field of multi-parameter sensing and measurement.
